Tips

July 30, 2025

Stieger Castle is one of the few remaining buildings from the early High Middle Ages. Originally probably built as a hunting lodge for Henry I around 919, it later served as a fortified residence for the Counts of Blankenburg-Reinstein. Today, a cozy castle café with homemade cakes and a beer cellar invites you to linger.

The castle located in the village was probably built by the Counts of Blankenburg as a hunting lodge and to protect the mining operations that had previously operated in the area. It was first mentioned in a document in 1329.

Today, the castle is privately owned and houses a small café.
